CLAIRE:I'm your everyday over-sheltered chess prodigy.He's my criminally handsome new bodyguard. Sure, he's swoonier than your standard-issue hired muscle, but like everyone in my life, Leo's been brought in by my father to control what I do, feel, eat, and think.Unlike the others, he knows exactly how to push all my buttons. And vice versa.The more we lock horns, the hotter the tension gets until finally, we break. Every. Last. Rule.In just the dirtiest ways possible.Yes, there's a good chance I'll get my heart broken when all this is over.But little do I know that Leo has even more to lose than I do...LEO:I was hired to be her "handler."Basically, a bully in a suit and sunglasses, if you ask me.Truthfully, being paid to be at Claire's side 24-7 until the world chess championships would be a piece of cake, if not for the spectacular debut of her inner rebel.She's a feisty little thing.Who makes even a man like me believe in love-at-first-fight.Problem is, I'm under her father's thumb, just like she is - not that she knows anything about it.I took this job to protect my grandparents, which I'll do at all costs.But I made a big promise to Claire, and I damn well intend to keep it...NOTE: This is a short, steamy romp between a protective bodyguard and the one woman who couldn't be more off-limits. It's all the HOT insta-fun sparks, yummy tension, and falling-hard-and-fast swoon for the busy reader wanting quick and u0026 dirty schmexy sweetness, with a romantic, feel-good HEA. Enjoy!
